Abstract
Cardiac muscle contraction occurs due to repetitive interactions between myosin thick and actin thin filaments (TF) regulated by Ca2+ levels, active cross-bridges, and cardiac myosin-binding protein C (cMyBP-C). The cardiac TF (cTF) has two nonequivalent strands, each comprised of actin, tropomyosin (Tm), and troponin (Tn). Tn shifts Tm away from myosin-binding sites on actin at elevated Ca2+ levels to allow formation of force-producing actomyosin cross-bridges. The Tn complex is comprised of three distinct polypeptides - Ca2+-binding TnC, inhibitory TnI, and Tm-binding TnT. The molecular mechanism of their collective action is unresolved due to lack of comprehensive structural information on Tn region of cTF. C1 domain of cMyBP-C activates cTF in the absence of Ca2+ to the same extent as rigor myosin. Here we used cryo-EM of native cTFs to show that cTF Tn core adopts multiple structural conformations at high and low Ca2+ levels and that the two strands are structurally distinct. At high Ca2+ levels, cTF is not entirely activated by Ca2+ but exists in either partially or fully activated state. Complete dissociation of TnI C-terminus is required for full activation. In presence of cMyBP-C C1 domain, Tn core adopts a fully activated conformation, even in absence of Ca2+. Our data provide a structural description for the requirement of myosin to fully activate cTFs and explain increased affinity of TnC to Ca2+ in presence of active cross-bridges. We suggest that allosteric coupling between Tn subunits and Tm is required to control actomyosin interactions.

Abstract
The ACTN2 gene encodes α-actinin 2, located in the Z-disc of the sarcomeres in striated muscle. In this study, we sought to investigate the effects of an ACTN2 missense variant of unknown significance (p.A868T) on cardiac muscle structure and function. Left ventricular free wall samples were obtained at the time of cardiac transplantation from a heart failure patient with the ACTN2 A868T heterozygous variant. This variant is in the EF 3-4 domain known to interact with titin and α-actinin. At the ultrastructural level, ACTN2 A868T cardiac samples presented small structural changes in cardiomyocytes when compared to healthy donor samples. However, contractile mechanics of permeabilized ACTN2 A868T variant cardiac tissue displayed higher myofilament Ca2+ sensitivity of isometric force, reduced sinusoidal stiffness, and faster rates of tension redevelopment at all Ca2+ levels. Small-angle X-ray diffraction indicated increased separation between thick and thin filaments, possibly contributing to changes in muscle kinetics. Molecular dynamics simulations indicated that while the mutation does not significantly impact the structure of α-actinin on its own, it likely alters the conformation associated with titin binding. Our results can be explained by two Z-disc mediated communication pathways: one pathway that involves α-actinin's interaction with actin, affecting thin filament regulation, and the other pathway that involves α-actinin's interaction with titin, affecting thick filament activation. This work establishes the role of α-actinin 2 in modulating cross-bridge kinetics and force development in the human myocardium as well as how it can be involved in the development of cardiac disease.

Abstract
Cardiac muscle contraction is distinct from the contraction of other muscle types. The heart continuously undergoes contraction-relaxation cycles throughout an animal's lifespan. It must respond to constantly varying physical and energetic burdens over the short term on a beat-to-beat basis and relies on different mechanisms over the long term. Muscle contractility is based on actin and myosin interactions that are regulated by cytoplasmic calcium ions. Genetic variants of sarcomeric proteins can lead to the pathophysiological development of cardiac dysfunction. The sarcomere is physically connected to other cytoskeletal components. Actin filaments, microtubules and desmin proteins are responsible for these interactions. Therefore, mechanical as well as biochemical signals from sarcomeric contractions are transmitted to and sensed by other parts of the cardiomyocyte, particularly the nucleus which can respond to these stimuli. Proteins anchored to the nuclear envelope display a broad response which remodels the structure of the nucleus. In this review, we examine the central aspects of mechanotransduction in the cardiomyocyte where the transmission of mechanical signals to the nucleus can result in changes in gene expression and nucleus morphology. The correlation of nucleus sensing and dysfunction of sarcomeric proteins may assist the understanding of a wide range of functional responses in the progress of cardiomyopathic diseases.

Abstract
Missense variant Ile79Asn in human cardiac troponin T (cTnT-I79N) has been associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and sudden cardiac arrest in juveniles. cTnT-I79N is located in the cTnT N-terminal (TnT1) loop region and is known for its pathological and prognostic relevance. A recent structural study revealed that I79 is part of a hydrophobic interface between the TnT1 loop and actin, which stabilizes the relaxed (OFF) state of the cardiac thin filament. Given the importance of understanding the role of TnT1 loop region in Ca2+ regulation of the cardiac thin filament along with the underlying mechanisms of cTnT-I79N-linked pathogenesis, we investigated the effects of cTnT-I79N on cardiac myofilament function. Transgenic I79N (Tg-I79N) muscle bundles displayed increased myofilament Ca2+ sensitivity, smaller myofilament lattice spacing, and slower crossbridge kinetics. These findings can be attributed to destabilization of the cardiac thin filament's relaxed state resulting in an increased number of crossbridges during Ca2+ activation. Additionally, in the low Ca2+-relaxed state (pCa8), we showed that more myosin heads are in the disordered-relaxed state (DRX) that are more likely to interact with actin in cTnT-I79N muscle bundles. Dysregulation of the myosin super-relaxed state (SRX) and the SRX/DRX equilibrium in cTnT-I79N muscle bundles likely result in increased mobility of myosin heads at pCa8, enhanced actomyosin interactions as evidenced by increased active force at low Ca2+, and increased sinusoidal stiffness. These findings point to a mechanism whereby cTnT-I79N weakens the interaction of the TnT1 loop with the actin filament, which in turn destabilizes the relaxed state of the cardiac thin filament.

Abstract
Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy (ACM), a Mendelian disorder that can affect both left and right ventricles, is most often associated with pathogenic desmosomal variants that can lead to fibrofatty replacement of the myocardium, a pathological hallmark of this disease. Current therapies are aimed to prevent the worsening of disease phenotypes and sudden cardiac death (SCD). Despite the use of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) there is no present therapy that would mitigate the loss in electrical signal and propagation by these fibrofatty barriers. Recent studies have shown the influence of forced vs. voluntary exercise in a variety of healthy and diseased mice; more specifically, that exercised mice show increased Connexin-43 (Cx43) expression levels. Fascinatingly, increased Cx43 expression ameliorated the abnormal electrical signal conduction in the myocardium of diseased mice. These findings point to a major translational pitfall in current therapeutics for ACM patients, who are advised to completely cease exercising and already demonstrate reduced Cx43 levels at the myocyte intercalated disc. Considering cardiac dysfunction in ACM arises from the loss of cardiomyocytes and electrical signal conduction abnormalities, an increase in Cx43 expression-promoted by low to moderate intensity exercise and/or gene therapy-could very well improve cardiac function in ACM patients.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Extracts of orchids have been traditionally used as human phytotherapeutics. Cyrtopodium flavum, for example, due to the analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, beside the capacity of heal skin lesions has been focus of research. Also Cyrtopodium glutiniferum, an orchid found in the Brazilian southeastern rainforest, is known to synthesize anti-inflammatory glucomannans in the pseudobulbs, as other potentially therapeutic compounds. AIM OF THE STUDY We have reported the first metabolomic analysis focused on the phenols expression of the neotropical orchid Cyrtopodium glutiniferum Raddi, besides free radical scavenging, anti-inflammatory and antiproliferative activities, and the genotoxicity properties of the aqueous extract. MATERIAL AND METHODS The metabolomics of C. glutiniferum aqueous extract was performed through UHPLC-MSn acquisition. We have detected the scavenging potential of the extract using DPPH assay. The genotoxic potential was performed by Ames Test (0-5000 μg mL-1) and micronucleous assay (0-5000 μg mL-1) in RAW264.7 cells. The cytotoxic potential of the extract against RAW264.7 was tested by WST-1 assay (0-500 μg mL-1). And after all, the RAW264.7 cells were treated with non-cytotoxic concentrations of C. glutiniferum (0-50 μg mL-1) to evaluate the antiproliferative and anti-inflammatory potential, besides the mitochondrial activity. RESULTS From the 55 molecules identified, 45.5% belonged to the phenolic compounds database from Phenol Explorer, 29% to an in-house Orchidaceae molecules database, and 25.5% to both. Among the identified phenolic compounds, 18 subclasses were discriminated, being phenanthrenes the most abundant. Doses-dependent of C. glutiniferum extracts were able to induce DPPH free radicals scavenging and also to increase TA100 His+ revertants, in metabolic environment, showing mutagenicity just in the highest concentration, of 5 mg/plate. On Eukaryotic cell models, the extract also has induced dose-response and time-response cytotoxicity against RAW264.7 macrophages, mainly after 48 h and 72 h, even though the extract has not been able to induce the increase of micronucleated cells and mitotic index alteration on Micronucleus assay. The activation and proliferation of macrophages cultures were downregulated after 24 h and 48 h by the non-cytotoxic concentrations of the extract in a dose-dependent manner. CONCLUSIONS The Cyrtopodium glutiniferum metabolomics, anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative properties observed in this study suggest a therapeutic efficacy of the orchid extract applied in folk medicine.
